Is there anyway to stop play between the input and output shaft on a squareback sterring box. And are they grease filled or oil?
Cheers all

Gotta be similar to T1 and T2 boxes so should have both worm and roller adjustment.

As I'm not familiar with T3 steering then I'd need a pciture to help any further.

They are similar to the T1 box so if the bushes or worm aren't worn out giving axial play it should just be a matter of adjusting.

Worm bearing wear play can be reduced with the large locknut and grub screw. This one should always be checked before the roller is adjusted. 🙂
